So sorry to be graphic

I have just had my first bowel movement after having endo removed laparoscopically on Friday - so 5 days with no movements!

It was very.... strange in colour and texture... has any body else found this??

Sorry again to those who find this offensive! X

Anesthesia can cause change in bowel movements including colour. If however it's red to black get to the doctor since that's a sign of a bigger problem.

I also found this so I don't think there is a reason to worry. Best to Check with your doctor on your post op appointment too though just to be sure!
